Screen develops vertical lines with white gradient - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Very interesting. Out of the blue, when I turned my phone on this afternoon I started seeing top to bottom vertical banding. I've noticed that it changes depending on what colors are on the screen, especially in the top/status bar. They are mostly white/gray, but there is a little blue and red.
The phone is only 8 days old, so I'm planning on bringing it back to Sprint on Monday morning. I'm quite sure it's a hardware issue, but I haven't seen anyone else posting about it with this device. I only wanted to see if anyone else had this experience so that I could decide whether it was a design defect that would cause me to reconsider my choice of this phone.
Peace.

have you drop the phone? coz mine develop a horizontal one on the top display .. drop from about 1 feet from the ground
fortunately for me, after i reboot it, the issue gone for good

No drops. Phone was in an OtterBox Defender.
Didn't go away after multiple reboots.
Brought it in to a Sprint store and they ordered me a replacement.
Glad I hadn't rooted it yet.

i notice these lines to, its more of a grid that i see, vertical and horizontal lines, i believe its supposed to make the phone more responsive to the touch of our fingers, making it react faster than other android phones...just an assumption

I had this happen after I had my screen replaced (cracked screen). Local repair guy replaced the screen, seemed to be working fine. I took it home and got these same vertical white streaks. Took it back to him, he found some kind of lose connector or board somewhere below the screen and had to apply some adhesive. I'm picking it up today to see if the issue is truly fixed.

Mine showed after i took the phone to capture images under direct sunlight

I have this exact issue, only difference is that the screen sometimes goes black. I noticed that when it does of I press the lower part of the screen it will display the white grid briefly then go black again. I have tried holding down the circuitry near the connector at the lower part of the screen down but to no avail. Please help.

I think I've experienced the same with my phone after a DIY display replacement. I put some electrical tape between the display connectors and the radio cable. Make sure that the tape is holding all the display connectors in place.

Problem with my SuperAmoled Plus Screen!

When i received the phone today (around 3pm uk time) after an hour playing around with it i noticed 3 dark thick lines on the bottom half of the screen (on a gray background) i thought nothing of it at first and continued to use the phone.
Only just now i thought there must be a problem so i displayed a full white image and you could really notice those 3 thick dark lines. I then changed the screen brightness to max, min then back to auto and it was gone... BUT! when the screen dims a bit just before turning off i can see those 3 thick lines again just for those few seconds before the screen turns off.. it doesnt really effect me but it annoys me that they are there.. plus there might be problems with it in the future. I'm gonna go to my local Carphone Warehouse tomorrow and see if they can replace it.
I just want to know if any one else has had this screen problem.
Thanks.
Do the lines correspond to anything that is on the screen often like the keyboard or some sort of widget you have on your home screen?
These SAMOLED screens suffer from image retention and possibly burn-in. I've noticed it on my original galaxy as well as the Nexus S. As long as the lines go away after a few seconds it should be nothing to worry about. If you notice them there always then that could be a problem... usually the easiest way to see them is on a flat gray background.

oh boy, its too soon to be having any burn in. might be another issue.
my nexus one has burn in of the status bar at the top. and i can see a burn in of my entire keyboard on a white image. after more than a year of using the phone, oh well. but the status bar burn in was there within the first month.

the lines are:
1: just above where the 4 icons are at the bottom of the screen
2: where the page numbers are (dots)
3: just below the other 4 icons (widgets)
Thing is that these lines are solid and have no breaks in them.. so i dont think its the 3 points i gave above this.
I know it's too early for burn-in but some screens (might I say... all?) come from the factory with some sort of flaw. None of them are perfect and most have flaws so imperceptible that most people wouldn't notice. Every nexus S and Galaxy I've seen had some sort of area or line or multiple lines on the screen which were a bit different color, not as bright, or something along those lines. Some are worse than others, and I noticed the flaws right after taking it out of the box brand new. (I've been through about 6 Nexus S's between me and a few friends).
It's not really the same as a traditional LCD/LED screen since there's not a big backlight. Each pixel is individually lit and some may have specifications that are just on the edge of within manufacturer limits. There's almost 400,000 pixels on the screen... the chances of all of them being created identically is slim to none.
If it bothers you I say just take it back and get an exchange, showing them the problem area on the screen. Just hope your new one will be "less flawed" =)

Yeah, The last phone i had, had problems with the camera.. i went through about 5 of them and i ended up with one that was the same as the first one i had.
Can you guys have a look at yours?
Just open up a pure white image and check.. if there are no lines wait till it dims the screen and check again... thanks.

well i dont have a good quality camera. You might of seen it before i changed the brightness settings but now that i have its kind of faint and you can only see it when the screen dims..
Gonna go to carphone warehouse now be back later
well before i went i called up all the carphone warehouses near me and none of them have stock.
I was told i only have two options:
1: go to a carphone warehouse and exchange.
2: go to a carphone warehouse and get a refund then order it online again.
So i should get a new one by tomorrow.. or atlest on friday.
no poroblems like that with mine. Screen is freaking perfect. On a side note i liked doing this test because I love staring at the screen.
Drooooool
well.. i went to a carphone warehouse.. and they had two instock. I exchanged it.. screen is fine but.. now after i got home i can see a mark/ dig inbetween the screen and the bezel (where the gap is)
again it doesnt really effect me but god.. now that i know its there.. i notice it so much that.. i might exchange it again Y_Y
This happens to me every single time i buy a new phone >.<... trust my luck!

Went to lakeside since the one near me closed at 7pm.
Changed the phone again and this one had the lines on the screen and a dig in the silver bezel. She gave me another phone and the screen was perfect and there are no digs on the silver bezel...
In 2 days iv had my hands on 4 different S2's lol..
Last phone i had i also had 4 of them cause of XXX problems.. thought i was gonna beat it today and have 5 XD
Geebuz wept! I'm getting mine in from the UK tomorrow. I hope for hell sake it doesn't have imperfections. The ship back to the UK would be a disaster and if that one has a dig in the bezel upon return I'd blow a valve!
FINGERS CROSSED MINE IS PERFECT
as far as i know. this is the grid pattern on the super amoled screens. however. because of the poor QA/QC of the screens, some of those grid patterns are more visible than other area of the screen.
the whole super amoled is about lines on a grid pattern. if you notice more deeply, you will see that you also have those " lines " some where else on the screen yet they are not visible as the one you noticed.
i had to go through 4 galaxy S1 to get a good one where the pattern isnt "visible " through the whole screen.
its a defective unit. mainly poor Qa/QC. if you can live with it, it wont do you any harms. or get bigger. if you cant, then change it.
or and make sure you dont have a dud phone with piss poor yellow white on high brightness or pink gray on low brightness. because thats also a defect in super amoled screens.

Just got mine Transform: VERY Small black dots from very specific angels... IS IT OK?

Hello Guys,
Pretty funny story. Few days ago i've ordered my ASUS transformer and today it has arrived.
OH well minutes after unboxed i noticed big dirty black smash inside the screen.
RIght away taken a ride of two hours to the store and replaced into brand new one.
REV B5 (Same as first one)....
Coming home I noticed from very random angles I can notice like VERY Small, slim black dots which can seen on blue/white etc.. background but not always seen...from specific random angles can be seen..
Is it normal for this screen type? Should I ask the support devision for lab service to fix/replace it? But then means I will need probably wait two weeks...
looking for your words
Thanks a lot!
It is a pattern grid like ###########? I see it faintly when my screen is smudged with hand grease or when I clean the screen and blow my breath on it.
Well besides the patter which i dont know why they did it this way lol i see some very small dots..try open blank white page...and look on the screen from front and random angles closely...see if you can find small dots...?
The faint ###### pattern is the capacitive touch sensing grid.
Those faint black dots are not supposed to be there. Check to make sure that your screen is completely clean, free of smudges. If the black dots are still apparent, then it can be either that you have dead pixels or some particles (maybe dust) trapped between the screen and the glass.
weird...its really extremely small dots...not always even seen..just some times from very specific angles...so think i will just pass it.
For safety emailed the ASUS distributor who in charge for the local warranty service to let him know i see those dots in case if in future i want support for this...
PS: TRY Some blue background and see if you able to see some sort of dots...not even black but dots...
I've thoroughly inspected my Transformer's screen several times since I got it, and I'm happy to say that I've never noticed anything bad besides a bit of light bleed on the bottom left. I'm sorry it's not the same case for you.
Well not big deal... Those dots not really seen in 99.5% of the time so really ok...
besides this dots i had some small creaks of the back plastic... but again this happens to almost every TF owner...
Anyways reported about this small dots to the warranty company of Asus in my country so they aware in case if i decide ask them fix it in future...also asked them for professional opinion about it..for case...
besides this small issues which not even seen most of the time...i am really happy with the TF rock and roll!

Dark patch on screen

Has anybody else noticed a dark patch on the edge of their screen? Along the top side of my screen, I can see it going off white when browsing a website in portrait mode for example.
It's like the back light isn't working properly there or something. Anybody else got this, should I get a replacement?
It's not hugely visible but it's noticeable on a white screen at any brightness level
Idk, it's up to you. I have light bleed in my right hand corner that is always visible, unless your in a well lit room on 0% brightness. I can't decide whether or not I want to send mine back though because of how common these backlighting issues seem to be.
Yeah. Mine is flawless otherwise. Its so barely noticeable I think I'll just get used to it.
Same ha ha, other people can't even spot it when i point it out to them on auto-brightness.
Yes, I noticed mine right away, but like others have said, its hardly noticeable. It doesn't bother me at all...
Sent from my Nexus 10 baby!
Same thing here. Most noticeable on a solid white background. I'm starting to think it's not a lighting problem but something to do with the way the panel is manufactured. If I hold the tablet in landscape so it's perpendicular to my face with my eyes lined up with the camera, the brightness is even across the panel. As soon as I tilt the bottom towards me, the brightness falls along the top edge. Makes it seem more like a viewing angle issue related to the way the layers are assembled or maybe a difference in pressure on the panel along that edge.
I decided to live with it because it's very rare that I have an app running in full screen that puts a light background across that area.
Same issue for me as well

I had the same issue with my first unit, did RMA and got second one. Second one had the exact same issue. Finally decided to get refund. The play store customer support said that there were few people reporting it already. This might be a design issue as well- the way device is tapered differently at the edges(backlight might not be aligned properly), two strong magnets near camera etc. Just speculating.
Dark patch here too. RMA process underway. 1/3 of screen has yellow tint. Noticeable when reading on white background. Annoyance.

Keep us posted on the replacement device!
Same problem here. I received my Nexus 10 yesterday and notice dimming primarily (exclusively?) along the long edges. While reading a web page with a white background in portrait mode I found myself wondering if chrome was adding a gradient to the edges for some stylistic effect, but realized that made no sense. I observed the same problem with Firefox, and then I installed a screen testing app and observed the dimming with a solid white screen.
It sounds like this is probably a manufacturing/design error. Now I have to decide whether it's worth the rigmarole of exchanging the device, probably to no effect. I guess this is the risk you take when purchasing a device sight-unseen.
If you bought it from a store it would still be unseen, since it would be in the box. I had the same problem with the iPad 3. It took me three exchanges to get one with an acceptable screen. All of them had dark, blotchy, yellow patches. By all accounts it's due to the adhesive glue they use. We shall see what the replacement brings. Order is currently at the 'pending' stage.
I also have this on my screen. Right side when in portrait mode. You can't see it in landscape, which is weird. My wife and I have decided to keep it, though, as everything else about it is perfect. Plus, this defect, if you want to call it that, does not detract from our enjoyment and uses.

To clarify, I meant that I'd never had the opportunity to use *any* Nexus 10 in person. Had I done so, and noticed the dim edge, it would have at least raised the possibility that there was a design or manufacturing issue.
Speaking of which, I examined an in-store Nook HD+ display unit yesterday and what do you know: it had the same dim edge issue.
By the way, where did you hear about the adhesive glue explanation?

Mine has--I assume--the same dimness along the entire length starting about 1/4" from the bezel along the "top" camera edge. It is actually somewhat distracting when reading a book in portrait mode. If I flip the screen around so that the dimness is on the left edge, for some reason I find it much less annoying. Unsure if this is a warranty replacement issue though. I haven't found another Nexus10 to see in person yet.

It was all over the iPad forums when the iPad3 came out. Plenty of people with dodgy screens. Some reported success in leaving brightness turned up to max and plugged in for 24hrs etc to dry. But may have been placebo. It could also be an entirely different cause other than adhesive. After all, what do I know? In any case, mine's heading back, but the replacement is still stuck on 'pending'
I had a rare bit of luck. Somebody sat next to me on the bus yesterday evening and pulled out an oddly familiar black tablet. I explained the problem I was having and asked if I could examine his Nexus 10. His device had a perfect display, with no detectable dimming near the edges. So the issue appears to be a manufacturing defect, not a design flaw, and something that could in principle be solved with a replacement unit.
I called Google last night and have my RMA email. I'll ship it off this weekend.

[Q] [HELP] Screen burn-in problems

Guys, I have a terrible issue with my LG G2's screen. Apparently, it looks like it's gotten some annoying burn-ins, which look like white lines running across the screen. They aren't much of a problem for me, but they have got very annoying in recent time. And, it seems like they are becoming more prominent with time. Here are some pics in order to get a feel of what I'm talking about. Can it be fixed with a display tester app? Please help! This burn-ins are driving me nuts! Didn't pay so much for a flagship handset with screen issues. :crying:
By the way, these burn-ins are most evident on grey backgrounds, as shown in the screenshots with a plain grey wallpaper.

This is very strange.
I was under the impression that LCD screens could not get burn-in.
Maybe what you are experiencing is not burn in.
One of the reasons why i came to this phone because i have had the galaxy s2 with LED display and i got status bar burn in as i have noticed happens to many people with led displays. AMOLED included.
Dont quote me on this but Im pretty sure it must be the reflective foil getting too close or tearing on the back of the LCD at a pressure point. Did your phone LCD take in impacts/heavy pressure or anyoone sit on it?

No, not at all. I take great care of my device. Not once has it fallen, nor be treated with pressure on the screen. Once, my mother happened to sit on my brother's G2, however, but he didn't experience any issues whatsoever. At least no similar burn-ins as on my device.
Weird, get warranty replacement then, still sure its probably the reflective layer, but hard to say what else could cause it to warp, since you say it hasnt suffered any abnormal usage.
I have this problem as well, especially in Hangouts since it's grey in color. Not really a big deal though, as it goes away a few seconds later. Now if it sticks, then that's a problem.

Those weird lines seem to stick. But, I wouldn't want to mess with replacement units, warranty repair etc. If it gets too annoying to handle, my first approach would be the display tester app. Plus, these "burn-ins" are less prominent (almost invisible) in outdoor lighting and do not tend to appear as much (or at all) on different backgrounds than grey.

Blue spots\blemishes appeared on screen

Hey guys,
Yesterday night before i went to bed, three blue spots appeared on the screen.
The degree if their appearance depend on the content shown on the screen -
*if viewing bright white light (such as an artical with white background) the spots are nearly invisible
*when darker colors are shown, for example when i pull the statues bar down - the spots are visible and annoying.
*when the screen is completly dark, the blue spots are highly visible

I've never dropped\hit\damaged my phone in any way, i had the case\glass a few days before i even had my phone, and yesterday night those three spots just appeared out of no where - what should i do?
Images not working. I haven't got or seen blue dots on screen before. I would suggest contacting Motorola.
Sent from my XT1572 using Tapatalk
get intouch with Motorola , thats a fault
Does anyone know why this happens? I just happened to me after more than six months of peace.
It's happening to a lot of people. Same with me, and the spots on mine were in the center near the bottom of the display.
Happened to me randomly one month after i got the phone. Had to get replacement from moto. Haven't had problems with new. Been about 8 months. Fingers crossed.
My wife and I each have the same phone her's has had the same blue dot for a month or 2 now: http://i.imgur.com/90U6BMR.jpg
Mine just developed a small white dot in the upper right corner of the screen.
ugh.
I believe these are from pressure against the back of the LCD. After I replaced my screen due to cracks I noticed that I had to play with all 20 screws a lot becasue if even one was too tight it would make a spot on the screen and I had to keep adjusting all the screws slightly, it was like putting a head on an car engine, slightly too tight on one screw would often cause inperceptable torque on the LCD and then a spot would appear above a different screw. Took a lot of adjustment and its still not perfect. From the pictures I'm seeing of the large blue spots and their locations, I'm susupicious something got jarred between the LCD and MB which is very sensitive as I said almoast imperceptable screw torques are enough to cause very similar artifacts (though they could also be just causing some kind of ground issue also, they are dead white with light blue around them, very small becasue the screws are small, and also very particularly pronounced.
So WILD guess is three things:
1 something not sharp or pointed moved somehow and is causing pressure on the back of the lcd directly below the blue spots.maybe those 2 rubber boots that cover two connections (you see them immediately and must remove both when doing anything to the phone after the glued on back is off.
2 LCD Failure
Probably 2 but if you are capable and adventurous check 1. Or ship it if still under warrnaty. Anyone know how long is the warranty? If you buy off of MOTO like I did?
I must be the special one. I have a red dot on mine.
I noticed a vague blue spot in my moto g 2015 today as well. When i press it lightly, the center of the spot turns to a small sharp bright white dot.
I aggree it must be caused by internal pressure. I had the same sort of spot on my HTC Desire. When i replaced the battery, the spot was gone. Turns out a drained/old Li-ion cell expands quite a bit, this caused the pressure from the inside on the screen.
My Moto G is only 6 months old so you wouldn't expect the battery to be faulty yet... Too bad the Moto G doesn't let you replace the battery yourself in an easy way like with my old HTC.
Did anyone experience the spot disappearing after replacing the battery with a fresh one? And does anyone know if old Moto G batteries look thicker than normal after they die?
I just started seeing this about a month ago, mine looks like the Pepsi logo, red and blue orb.
